Chef Julia had never heard of a Prego Roll before she met Dean. Even after he explained it, the sandwich sounded way too simple: garlic, butter, bread, and steak. Like peri peri, the Prego Roll is of Portuguese descent. On the streets of Lisbon and outside any nightclub or bar in Johannesburg, you’ll find vendors grilling steak and slathering garlic butter on a soft bun—heaven. The key to this mouth-watering street food is finding a soft, airy roll to absorb the steak juices. If there is a Portuguese market near you, you’re in luck! If not, look for a soft roll dusted with flour at your local bakery.
